Great information, thanks!

I think the same tactic is used for the child rape problem as is applied to most problems with ancient texts:

Sorry for the double post, but, I just realized I ought to clarify something I said in my initial post to this topic in case people misconstrue. The reason I reckon Muhammad was not a pedophile is because he apparently married her for reasons other than sex. Plus, I've not heard of any other nine year old children he was attracted to.

Aisha was the child of Abu Bakir, if memory serves, so like how members of separate royal families marry each other in order to build bonds I think Aisha was married for that reason, and as we know times have changed. But I buy that argument. But, as I mentioned, this causes different problems for the believer because they would claim secular morality is bad. We just don't marry our daughters off anymore.

I hope that clears things up since I can't edit posts after 120 minutes have passed since I posted the post.

Thanks this was very informative.

Islam's irony in a nutshell
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
